AB  - A building should enable its occupants to function more effectively
and efficiently but frequently this is not the case. The reverse can
occur to the extent where the building inhibits rather than enables its
occupants. Three causal factors identified are: (1) pace of
organisational change; (2) the design process; and (3) building
management. Considering these together creates a different way of
thinking about buildings and what they are for. Each factor is discussed
individually as a potential source of constraint and solutions are
proposed. Part I this month looks at cultural change and design. Part II
next month will discuss management.
